Wedding: 1/28/12
We were SO THRILLED by ALL of the services provided by Groove Events for our wedding this past January 2012. They truly all came together as a team and are responsible for making our dream wedding into a reality.
Peter, our DJ, was outstanding. He was so flexible and played all of the music we wanted to hear. I did not stop dancing the entire night -- literally the most fun I've had in my entire life! Our guests have also not stopped saying how much fun they had at our wedding -- and it was almost four months ago!
Marcia, our photographer, was phenomenal as well. She and her assistant caught so many wonderful moments. The pictures were fantastic and she did not miss a beat! She was also willing to go above and beyond to get unique shots (like getting on the roof of our reception place!) She was great.
Franco, the videographer, was also fantastic! Videography services were not a huge priority of ours at first, but we were able to add his services toward the end of our planning, and I am SOOOOOO happy we did. The wedding video was exceptionally done and we will treasure it forever. Being able to relive our entire day, and see things we missed while we were busy enjoying our wedding day, is priceless.
Working with Groove Events was one of the best decisions we ever made and we would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone!!!
Thank you Peter, Marcia, Franco, and the whole Groove family for making our day so incredibly special!

I cannot say ENOUGH about Joe Toto and his crew from groove!! They provided me with music, photography, videography, up-lighting and sheers. Joe's team was professional and VERY attentive. Marcia and her crew were AWESOME!!! they seemed to be everywhere snapping pictures but were never in the way. I had a few ideas which I know where a pain to pull off but Marcia agreed and did everything with a smile!! Franco did my video and he was AMAZING!!! I am so excited to see the final product. The whole gang was so enthusiastic and made me feel like they were honored to capture my wedding. Joe was AWESOME with his DJing skills!! He kept the party going all night. His up-lighting was awesome and never was overbearing!!! He also provided me with sheers which were also great!! I wish I could have another wedding or big party just to use Joe and his crew again!!!! I cannot say enough!!!!!! You would be lucky to have them at your wedding!!!!!

Joe and his team made our reception awesome! On top of having him as our DJ, we added an uplighting package to enhance our all white ballroom. They did an amazing job with the white drape and lighting. People walked in the room and were blown away!
The music was perfect. We had a mix of age groups at the wedding and Joe played music for everyone. We never had an empty dance floor. We were worried not many people would dance with the generation gaps but everyone was up there all night, even my parents and older relatives who never dance!
My husband and I are so pleased with Joe and his crew. My husband is an Event Manager at a local high end hotel and is seldom impressed with special events because he’s seen it all. Joe and his team really WOW’d him and he couldn’t stop talking about how great the ballroom looked! When we look back at the pics it takes us back to our special day with his unique touches that turned our room into a surreal vision. We even hear great songs on the radio and remember them being played at the wedding.
You will not be disappointed with Joe and his team. They are tasteful, classy industry professionals that will make your event extra memorable.

Peter D. was our DJ. Simply put, he rocks. People were up dancing before dinner was served and didn't stop until he started breaking down his equipment. He took all of our requests (even the more rediculous) and kept our ecclectic crowd happy. All of our guests had a good time and kept commenting on how good Peter did, and how much fun they all had dancing...even my 87 year old Aunt and Uncle got up to cut a rug. If we did it again, Peter would be our first choice.

We used Groove for the uplighting at our wedding, and I am so glad we made this choice. At first, we weren't sure if we actually needed uplighting, but in the end after looking at photos we decided we were going to do it. I am so glad we did! I was given a sneak peak of the reception set-up before the guests were invited in from cocktail hour, and it literally took my breath away!! Everything looked beautiful, but the lighting just made the look. It was spectacular. We had Marc Tarquinio from Groove as the lighting guy at the wedding, and in the run-up to the wedding he was just so friendly and positive in emails, telling us how excited he was to be a part of the wedding and how much he was looking forward to working with us. He was a real pleasure to work with, and really put 110% into making the lighting amazing. I totally recommend these guys, whether you're on the fence about whether or not you want to choose uplighting, or if you know you want it and just aren't sure who to use.

We had Peter Diozzi from Groove Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding on September 24, 2011 and thought he was fantastic! From the get go, i felt as though Groove was very professional on the phone right down to the last week before the wedding where everything was confirmed in detail. I had some nice long coversations with Peter about the feel of the music and what we wanted for that night, and felt he understood me right away! He played such a great variety of music and literally had people on the dance floor from the get go. I also used Groove for their uplighting and they were very flexible with getting that confirmed for us, even when i added it on last minute! It made such a difference in the room, and i'm so happy i went with it! :) I would HIGHLY recommend Groove, and we loved Peter, so thanks to everyone at Groove who made it a fantastic night! - Jenna

EVERYONE at Groove Entertainment is amazing! When I got engaged, I immediately called Groove Entertainment and booked all the services I needed with them! There was no doubt in my mind that we would be using them for our wedding. Every time I had a question about something, they were right there to answer it. Peter, my DJ, made my wedding 100 times better than I could have ever imagined. I had a list of songs I wanted to hear and he honestly got to almost every one! And my photographer, Marcia, and videographer, Franco, were also super easy to work with. They listened to what I wanted and helped me with what I had invisioned for my wedding pictures and video. For all brides considering booking with Groove, do it! you won't regret it!!! :)

Me and my husband booked Groove Entertainment for our wedding at Aldrich Mansion located in RI August 26, 2011.
We went with the entire package including dj, photo, video and up lighting. If you are considering booking with groove you really should book the entire package. It is so worth it. The up lighting is a must have it truly transforms your space and is worth every penny.
Having all the vendors under one company really made a difference. They all know each other and work so well together. The entire day went so smooth you didn’t have to worry about a thing. By the end of the day they felt like family!
We have so many great memories to look back on from our special day and couldn’t imagine it without Groove Entertainment. The entire group worked as a team of professionals and our wedding was absolutely amazing!
If you want a flawless wedding I highly recommend booking Groove Entertainment.

Wedding: 8/14/11
We got married on August 14th, 2011. My venue had suggested Groove Entertainment for a DJ and also for other services as well. When I called Groove the first time, I was very happy to hear how professional and courteous they were. We were told to check out their website to watch some videos and see if we were drawn any one DJ in particular.
I chose Peter Diozzi, and added a supplemental uplighting package as well. I found myself emailing Peter frequently about silly things, like the fact I forgot my paperwork that was due four days prior, and he rolled with it and let me know it was absolutely no problem at all.
Day of the wedding was the first time we actually met, he let me know our wedding music was in good hands and did a final rundown on everything. The uplighting was amazing! Even though we had a daytime wedding, it still stuck out and made my venue even more gorgeous. Although, I didn't hear most of the prelude music in the ceremony, he let me know he made different folders of all my requests[and there were a lot of them!] He even went out of his way to get the first song I wanted played prior to the ceremony, The Muppet's Somebody's Getting Married! Apparently, I'm the first crazy person to request it, but he made sure that it was played! All of the ceremony music was perfect! After cocktail hour, we moved to the entrance songs, he did a flawless job switching from song to song as the night progressed. As soon as our guests had finished with their entrees the kids began dancing, he did an outstanding job of keeping everyone on the dance floor with his song choices, as well as keeping up with requests. He came up to me and checked if we were still doing the bouquet toss, and I mentioned to him how I didn't think we could because I completely forgot the toss bouquet at my parents...Peter was very quick to remedy a solution for me, and grabbed some flowers off the cake table and found someone to tie it together. Throughout the whole process, he had gone above and beyond what I expected of him. I cannot thank him enough for helping us have our perfect day, it would not have been the same without him there. I would highly suggest to anyone in need of a DJ to use Peter Diozzi!!!!

Peter Diozzi was our DJ, and we can't say enough good things about him! He played exactly the type and variety of music that we wanted witout needing too much direction from us. He kept the entire room dancing the entire night - even before the salad was served! Many people complemented him to us. He could read the crowd and keep people dancing, and everyone had a blast. Highly recommended!

Grooves is absolutely fantastic. I can not say enough about how fantastic they are. I would and will recommend them to anyone who needs a fantastic vendor for all of their wedding needs.
They took care of everything and made my day even more perfect than I could have imagined!!!!

We were extremely pleased with Groove Entertainment service for our wedding entertainment. We would highly recommend them to anyone! Working with Groove Entertainment was stress-free from start to end.
Joe Toto and his staff helped make our wedding day one of our most memorable evenings. They brought us exactly what we asked; elegance, romance, and excitement. His timeliness and conscientious was remarkable! They were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Our wedding was June 5th at the Four Seasons in Boston and we had a fabulous service provided by Groove entertainment. Joe Toto is an outstanding DJ! The music, the energy of the guests, the flow of the evening were fantastic. Every aspect of the services provided by Groove entertainment exceeded our expectations: from lighting, to music, to photography and videography. We heard very positive comments from our guests as well and they are already recommending Joe Toto to their friends.

Wedding: 6/4/11
Groove Entertainment was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! Our DJ Peter Diozzi was EXCELLENT, and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. From the time we chose Peter to be our DJ for our wedding, he was very easily reached, very informative, and went out of his way to meet us to go over our music choices. We have had many of our guests come up to us and single out Peter saying to us how good he was. Whether it was the music for the ceremony, introductions, dinner time, or after dinner, everything was perfect. The dance floor was packed all night long! He also has a great wedding voice and truly looks as if he LOVES his job.
On a side note during our wedding it was game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals and being huge Bruins fans we had asked Peter to keep us informed on the game and the score. Not only did he keep us informed he played the Bruins goal horn and song after a goal and announced the goals as if we were at the Garden.
If your looking for a flexible DJ who listens to your wants and needs, does a great job, and takes a lot of pride in making sure your day is special look no further than Peter.

Working with Groove Entertainment for our June 4, 2011 wedding was a wonderful experience. Right from the start, owner Joe Toto was very accommodating, courteous, and professional. Our uplighting looked incredible and truly transformed the ballroom of Raffael's in Walpole into a romantic setting. DJ Dave Natola was a pleasure to work with. He was thorough in ensuring everything we selected was available for the evening and the night of the wedding was great at engaging our guests. Guests are still saying how great Dave was and we would highly recommend him to anyone searching for a DJ for any type of function! Thanks Groove for making our wedding so memorable!

Groove Entertainment was one of the best decisions we made for our May wedding in Boston. They were our DJ (Peter Diozzi) and also did our lighting (and up-lighting) for two different spaces. From the beginning they were attentive, enthusiastic, informative, professional, and personal. They made us feel like ours was the only wedding they had on their calendar this year. They matched us up with a DJ who loves our music genre (mostly disco and 80s pop, with some modern hip hop and dance).
We made a lot of music requests which they honored wholeheartedly. They also brought their own style and what was most impressive was their ability to read the crowd and transition into songs that people WANTED to hear, including some slower romantic songs from time-to-time. We knew we had an amazing night ahead of us when the dance floor was packed during the salad course of the dinner.
Our DJ Peter was amazing. He has a great voice, kept the party fun and casual, was informative to the crowds, performed the role of Master of Ceremonies with style and class... I've seen DJs that try to put on their own show and make it all about them... Peter made it all about us.
They were perfect! We highly recommend using this company. They really care. They contacted us immediately following the wedding to tell us how much fun THEY had. It is an honor to recommend them if you are planning a wedding in the Boston area.

Groove Entertainment & Lighting goes above and beyond what you would normally expect from a DJ. They started my wedding out with a BANG.......after our formal introductions (which they did themselves) we went straight into our first dance, my husband and I wanted to have two dances, and one was to a very upbeat song which was Katy Perry Teenage Dream.......they came up w/the idea that directly after our first dance we should go straight into teenage dream with our guests as well to get the party started, we did it, and boy it SURE DID WORK!!! Everyone loved it and had a blast out on the dance floor all night long! Not only do they provide just music but you can also get your uplighting, band, photography, and video all through them as well in one package!!!! Great Company, Great People!!

DJ Joe toto was amazing! I have received so many compliments on how awesome the DJ was! He was very throughout, made sure he had all the correct information beforehand. The paperwork they have you fill out prior to the event was organized and gave a good timeline for the night. Joe Toto had everyone on the dance floor all night and truly made our wedding a huge party which is all we could have asked for! If you're looking for a party he certainly knows how to get one started. Highly reccommended!!
